Apart from his unbeaten record in professional boxing, the other thing Floyd Mayweather was well-known for was his ability to defend. During his active career, Mayweather was one of the least hit fighters in boxing. Great eyesight, patience, fast movement, and the ability to anticipate and counter were the characteristics that once described his knowledge of boxing.
‘Money’ was one of the few fighters who could stand right there inside the pocket; allow his opponents to throw, and then move with impressive agility to defeat the opponent’s desperate will to hit.

The moves that Mayweather made popular were the Philly Shell and the Shoulder Roll. With guidance from his long-time trainer and late uncle, Roger Mayweather, he had mastered the two aforementioned moves. In every single one of his bouts, he demonstrated the moves to everyone’s amazement and awe.

Lately, ESPN Ringside circulated a video of Canadian rapper Drake trying out the shoulder roll in a contest with bees.
Who has got the better shoulder roll, Drake or Floyd Mayweather?
Mayweather has given his fans a list of unforgettable moments in boxing. Taking about the shoulder roll and sweet defense, here are a few fights to look back. To begin with, we name Mayweather vs. Alvarez. Mayweather confronted some large swings by Canelo Alvarez. Like a math problem with an undiscovered formula, he stood there in the center of the ring, dodging, circling, and leaning back while absolutely torturing the young and driven Saul.

At this, the other fight that comes to mind is the one against Oscar. In great fashion, with his back up against the ropes, Mayweather, like Neo from Matrix, dodged De La Hoya‘s approaching punch. A left hook, a right cross, and a shovel hook underneath Mayweather’s arms. TBE dodged them all to De La Hoya’s exhaustion and surprise.
With Drake‘s skills on full display, do you think he can outclass Mayweather? What do you assume Mayweather’s reaction would be, given he discovers Drake’s attempt to shoulder roll?
